Tasting notes
The focus has been on bottle weight and the environmental repercussions of using heavy glass, as well as the efforts for greater sustainability. This particular bottle is one of the heaviest encountered each year (evidently made with a special mold), so it has been highlighted in the hope that this wine can set an example for others. Looking at the liquid inside the bottle, the Feudi di San Gregorio 2017 Pàtrimo pours forth with a beautifully velvety and saturated appearance. This pure Merlot displays an unexpected bouquet with notes of green curry leaf, rosemary, cherry confit, and pressed blackberries. The wine from this hot vintage is abundant and richly layered.

About this wine
Pàtrimo is Feudi di San Gregorio's Merlot from Campania, bottled under IGT rather than one of the region's traditional DOCs. It is a single-varietal expression, grown in southern Italian soils more usually associated with Aglianico and Fiano, giving the producer scope to work Merlot on its own terms rather than as a blending grape.
Expect a dense, structured red at 14.5% abv, built for the table rather than sipping alone. Serve at 16-18°C alongside grilled or roasted meats, lamb, game birds or a well-stocked cheeseboard. It also stands up to tomato-based pasta dishes, useful for menus that need one bottle to cover several courses on board.
